Chapter 2177 The Robbery
''Well, that doesn''t matter. Whatever the cost, I have to get it!
If I could get just some more crystal ore that hastent time energy, then I can hatch the egg, ''
Austin thought.
Since the egg already absorbed quite arge batch of time crystals in the Fallen Immortal World,
numerous cracks could now be seen on its surface. It just needed that one final push now.
Some of the cracks were already as wide as a finger.
Austin could now tell that given enough energy, the egg would hatch shortly. But getting that final push
wasn''t going to be easy.
However, once the egg was hatched, Austin could then fulfill the promise he had made to the soul of
the infinity beast on the Nonuple Isles in the Prime Martial World. That was a promise he intended to
keep no matter how hard he had to try.
"Haven''t the elders arrived yet?"
"Not yet. Though I''ve heard that the reclusive elders, along with our n leaders, are tracking the
whereabouts of some young prick. I think they will be here in a few days."
A voice reached his ears from far away.
Though the conversation was happening several miles away, Austin''s spiritual sense was powerful
enough to pick it up.
Further concentration revealed that it was a discussion between among the warriors of the Zhao n
who were guarding the mineral mine.
Since the mine was located deep underground, therefore, these warriors were animatedly speaking to
their hearts'' content. They were sure that no one could be listening in on them, not in this godforsaken
ce.
"What?!
I mean the guy''s just an arrogant brat. Why would the n leader and the elders handle him
personally?"
one of them remarked in disbelief.
"Beats me. From what I''ve heard, any child of the n would have sufficed. You know what the funny
thing is? A dozen of us stay here all year round, but which one of us knows about the affairs of the
n?"
another man wondered.
"Yes, you''re right. Never mind. We can ask them whenever theye here next time."
The rest nodded in agreement.
"I was surprised to see so many time energy crystals inside the mine. They are extremely rare and
worth a lot more than striking oil.
You can be certain of one thing: our Zhao n will definitely make a big fortune,"
one of them uttered.
Crystal ores with time energy!
Austin sensed a tingle of excitement down his spine. He hadn''t expected to find a way to get the crystal
ores so soon. It looked like the mine was not very lightly guarded, but he would try and get in without
trouble.
"Yes. I''ve heard that these crystals are invaluable in the market. They have very specialized usage.
They are necessary for building teleportation arrays.
And if a master wants to cultivate time energy, then these crystals will be invaluable to him or her.
This time, they''ve dug up a lot of crystals. So they''re going to make a tremendous fortune,"
said another man.
''Yes, I am in the right ce.''
Austin thought to himself, waiting quietly.
He was nning on rushing in and grabbing these crystals once the mine was opened. That way, no
one would even know that he was there.
If everything went well, he would get a ratherrge collection of crystals for the egg.
Actually, Austin had entered the teau Mine District with a destructive intent. His original n was to
destroy the mining regions of the Zhao n and the South Marine Sect in revenge. But before that, he
was going to take a portion of the output for himself.
Running into a mine that had time energy crystals was an unexpected pleasant surprise.
About a dayter, his ears picked up an order.
"Open the warehouse and put these crystals in!"
A voice sounded.
Then, a middle-aged man who was emitting a very sharp aura, followed by arge number of miners,
exited the mine. The workers were carrying a boatload of crystals on their back, ready to put them in
the warehouse.
Every few days, a new batch of crystals were transported into the warehouse.
"Yes, sir!"
One of the warriors who was guarding the gates of the warehouse brought out an enormous bunch of
array gs. After mumbling a few words under his breath, he used some sort of form and threw the
array gs into the air one by one towards the gate.
With a loud bang, the whole earth began to shake slightly.
The arrays set up around the mining warehouse were unlocked one by one, allowing entry into it.
Once the ground had settled down, the miners proceeded to store the crystals inside.
"Now''s my chance!"
Austin mumbled with joy.
Suddenly, he dashed forward like an arrow with lightning fast speed, brushed past several guards and

went straight into the warehouse.
"Who the hell are you?"
The warriors guarding the door and the middle-aged man were astonished to see that a stranger had
suddenly appeared out of the blue in their warehouse. They immediately surrounded Austin, shouting
angry questions at him.
"I''m here to rob you!"
Austin responded with a joyful shout.
At this point, his demonic avatar and Brady appeared besides him too.
Without any formalities, the demonic avatar directly used the World Sealing Tabooed Magic. Instantly,
ancient runes filled the warehouse like snowkes.
A terrible evil spirit began to whistle and sweep the area.
All of a sudden, the Zhao n''s people and the miners found themselvespletely immobilized in
their own warehouse. They had no idea what was going on, but were sure the intruder had something
to do with it.
Among these people, the most powerful one was only at the Major-perfection Realm. Therefore, when
faced with the World Sealing Tabooed Magic, they couldn''t even move a muscle, let alone protest or
stand their ground.
However, they were only physically blocked. Unnoticed to anyone, a very faint, unnoticeable ray of light
shot out of the Soul Sea of the middle-aged man and then disappeared outside.
This was a kind of secret method they had developed over the years. To ensure the safety of the mine,
the Zhao n used this secret transmission method for sending messages. It could imperceptibly pass
information to others without their enemy finding out. Austin waspletely unaware that backup was
on the way.
"Move!"
Austin, Brady, and the demonic avatar collectively began to hoard all the crystals from the warehouse.
They were doing their job at an incredible speed.
This was because the trio had employed their best skills during the process.
Within just a few seconds, every single crystal in this warehouse was gone!
However, at that very moment, several miles away from the mine, a short and thin old man who was
sitting cross legged and mediating inside his tent suddenly woke up with a weird expression on his
face.
"Someone is attacking the warehouse!"
the man shouted. The next moment, he rushed out of the tent at full pelt.
"The mine is in danger!"
"The mine''s under attack!"
Within seconds, every single person in the area came to know about this development.
Several figures rushed towards the mine with all their might.
"Damn it! They found us!"
At that moment, Austin who was busy collecting crystals in the mining warehouse sensed their arrival.
Fortunately, they had already emptied the mine. All that was left was to run!
Austin dashed out of the warehouse like a spear and made his way through the underground tunnels
quickly.
Shoop, Shoop, Shoop
Numerous figures rushed into the warehouse through various passages.
At the same time, the people who had been restrained from movement inside the warehouse suddenly
recovered from their predicament. Looking at the empty warehouse around them, they were trembling
with fear.
"We''re toote! The mining warehouse has been emptied!"
the middle-aged man shouted in a pined voice as he walked over to the old man who had just rushed
inside.
"What the hell is going on?"
the old man shouted wildly, looking at the nowpletely empty storeroom. Who could''ve done this!
